Once a Fortnite: Talking Gaming for Multipotentialites with Harsh Gupta – TMP 044

Special guest and new Puttytribe member, Harsh Gupta, joins us live from Kolkata, India, where he has worked as a game designer for the past few years. He gives us the ins and outs of navigating this complex, exciting, and ever-growing industry.

We learn about the difference between a game designer, developer, artist, and manager. Modern gaming is on the level of large scale cinema, with massive teams and departments. Where to begin?

Playing video games can take us out of our reality as a form of entertainment, an art form, and can be a collaborative activity (contrary to popular opinion). Hosts Ted & Sara join Harsh to discuss perspectives on reality, fantasy, addiction, and positive escapism.

The video game industry has established hubs around the globe, and our very own Puttytribe has engaged in discussions about the topic, which inspired this week’s episode.
